Don't accuse Fred Willard of being humorless: the comic actor is (sort of) speaking out about his recent arrest for allegedly committing a lewd act in an adult movie theater in Hollywood, People reports.
"Wait til u hear my version; much more PG," he tweeted on Monday morning. "& my review, lousy film, but theater would make a terrific racquetball court. Full story 2 follow."
The actor, who was fired by PBS as the voice of "Market Warriors" after the alleged incident, also took to Twitter to promote the ABC improv comedy show "Trust Us With Your Life," which he currently hosts.
"I was not fired from TUWYL," he writes, "so B sure 2 watch."
On July 18, police confirmed that Willard, 72, was arrested, cited and released while police were conducting a routine investigation at the Tiki Theater on Santa Monica Boulevard.
After the alleged incident, Willard's lawyer issued a statement defending him, saying, "Our belief is that Fred did nothing in any violation of any law. We will be working vigorously to clear his name in this matter."

At Sunday night's live "After the Final Rose" special, "The Bachelorette's" Emily Maynard and her new fiance, Jef Holm, couldn't wait to declare their love for each other, People reports.
"I found the perfect man," said Maynard, who became engaged on the show's season 8 finale. Maynard beamed as she clutched Holm's hand. "He's my best friend."
"I love her to death," Holm gushed.
While some viewers were shocked and saddened to see Maynard's tearful goodbye to race car driver Arie Luyendyk on the season finale, host Chris Harrison says it was clear to him that the connection between the North Carolina single mom (and Morgantown, W.Va. native) and Utah entrepreneur Holm was undeniably stronger.
"What really separated Arie and Jef in the end is how Jef made her feel," Harrison said. "How she acted in the end, if you notice, she was a little girl around him. Jef brought out something unique in her. There was something special and unique about them."
Arie appeared on "After the Final Rose" and said he was happy for Emily and Jef.
"I don't want to take anything away from Arie, who is a wonderful man and would have been a great husband," Harrison went on to say. "But she and Jef are so good together. I really think she chose wisely, and I think she chose the right guy."

Shepherd has three grown children from her previous marriages.
